I'm very excited to be posting my very first blog post as a Technique Junkie Design Team Member. Yay!!!! I feel so fortunate to be part of such an amazingly talented group....I'm still pinching myself.

For my first blog post, I made an easy card to reproduce. If you like to color (and I do), the focal image called "Mrs. Santa's List" is right up your alley. I colored her with Copic Markers and used a little Viva Glitter Pen to give her collar and earring some bling, then framed her using Spellbinder Classic Oval dies. For the background I used a new background stamp called "Baubles" was so easy to do by heat embossing in Silver embossing powder. Both stamps are from the October 2016 Release. To finish it off, I "framed" the background layer using "Wonky Stitch" Die by Avery Elle and popped Mrs. Santa up off the bg layer using dimensional tape.

I hope you like my card. Be sure to check out the TJ Blog and see all the posts for loads of inspiration.

About Me

I'm a sixty "something" boomer who saw a handmade card one day and thought "WOW! I want to do that". Sooooo, here I am. (Secret) When I was a little girl, paper dolls were my favorite toy; I must have had hundreds of them and I used to cut the models out of my mother's old catalogs and make clothes for them with some other pages from the ladies clothing photos.
I married a Maine (iac) man and now live here in the beautiful state of Maine, however, I was born and raised in the beautiful Adirondacks of NYS. I'm devoted to my wonderful husband, my kids and my grandchildren. I'm blessed in so many ways and I count my blessings every day.
